(Ex: PHP supports a similar pattern) 0 - false 0.0 - false +0.0 - false -0.0 - false All other +/- Numbers (including fractional) - true I prepared the patch using regular expressions; because I could not find a suitable method in BooleanUtils > Number to Boolean conversion > ---------------------------- > > Key: CONFIGURATION-473 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-473 > Project: Commons Configuration > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Type conversion > Affects Versions: 1.7 > Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg > Fix For: 1.9 > > Attachments: CONF-473.patch > > > The conversion of number values to boolean is not supported. {{0}} should be > converted to {{false}}, and any other number should be converted to {{true}}. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
